Yesterday it was announced that the man who kidnapped and killed Adam Walsh, the son of crime fighter John Walsh, was identified. Thus, bringing a close to the legal investigation of the case. Unfortunately, such a horrendous attrocity against a little boy can never really be closed in the hearts of the parents.
The kidnaping and killing of the boy (which won't be described here) was so brutal that only one conclusion is viable i.e. this was a personification of pure evil and not just the work of a demented pedophile.
Unfortunately, Adam Walsh is one of a number of kidnaping victims. Some have been killed. Others are in the throws of trafficking slave masters using them for commercial sexual profit including pornography, prostitution and more.
In 1982, a year after the Walsh kidnapping, 12 year old Johnny Gosch from West Des Moines Iowa was kidnaped while he delivered newspapers.
His mother, Noreen Gosch found herself becoming an investigator and discovered the organized nature of Johnny's kidnapping and the links to other nefarious workings. As I shared with her, she discovered human trafficking 25 years before it had a name.
Noreen has been a regular speaker at our PREVENTINGABUSE CONFERENCES. In 2006 Noreen received photos of boys bound and gagged who she says one of them is her son . The timing of the photos appeared to be about the time of Johnny's kidnapping.
Below is a statement just released by Noreen Gosch regarding the recent conclusion of the Adam Walsh investigation
Thank you,

STATEMENT FROM NOREEN GOSCH BELOW
I am very happy there is resolution on Adam Walsh's case. I understand how frustrating it is for parents of a missing child. John has been very vocal about the mistakes made in the investigation by the Hollywood, Fl. Police Dept. In the end, they decided to review the evidence in the case and determined that Ottis Toole was indeed guilty of murdering Adam.
I urge the police in West Des Moines and Des Moines Iowa to do the same. To review all the evidence on the following cases: Johnny Gosch kidnapped 9/5/82; Eugene Martin kidnapped 8/84; Marc Allen kidnapped 3/86. These three boys were all the same age and kidnapped from the Des Moines/West Des Moines area.... to date there has been no resolution on any of the cases by authorities.
Johnny Gosch is my son, I have continued to investigate his case with the help of private investigators for 26 years.
